Welcome to our annual Top 50 Room Awards issue. We are delighted to present 50 incredible rooms imagined by Australia’s leading design talent. We feel privileged that Australia’s top creatives choose to enter the Awards and that we have the opportunity to share their work with you. The sensational standout and overall winner this year is Sydney-based architect Madeleine Blanchfield. Madeleine and her team submitted a breathtaking portfolio of work to this year’s awards – obviously all different due to the client brief and location, but all exuding her unmistakable design DNA. Her interiors look effortless and a pleasure to inhabit, but we know to achieve those results, a lot of precise design work goes on behind the scenes. Congratulations to Madeleine and team and to all of our other…

KITCHENS Best Kitchen WINNER SPONSORED BY ROOM OF THE YEAR SPONSORED BY Winnings 1 BRIGHT STAR Madeleine Blanchfield & Nick Channon, MADELEINE BLANCHFIELD ARCHITECTS, PADDINGTON, NSW A single-storey rear pavilion extension with a generous ceiling height and skylight provided the ideal space for this standout open-plan kitchen with its layered yet balanced design. A sculptural, stepped island stands firmly centrestage, while timber joinery adds warmth below the concrete ceiling. “The final form, nestled in leafy surrounds, is a warm, open residence that embraces its modern essence,” says Madeleine. madeleineblanchfield.com. 2 WORK OF ART Jessica Gombault & Alexandra Kidd, ALEXANDRA KIDD INTERIOR DESIGN, POTTS POINT, NSW The brief: serene and sophisticated. The result: “an open, airy space that is both a culinary haven and a stylish gathering spot,” says Jessica, who…

Australian House & Garden ‘Sandy Cape’ washed Belgian linen quilt cover set in Earth and in White, $299.95/queen, Myer. Crisp, cool bed linen. Tucked-in corners. Inviting pillows. A freshly dressed bed is one of the finer things in life, and yet many stumble here. To create harmony, work with your overall colour palette. The colours do not have to exactly match the rest of the room, but the tones do need to be complementary. There are many different ways to make a bed, but you need layers to prevent it from looking like it’s in student digs. The old-school, simple but sumptuous, bed setting – without piles of handmade cushions that invariably must find a home for the night – is always a sign of good taste. After the mattress…

EXTERIOR The facade was spruced up with the metalwork and the front door painted a Taubmans custom colour. SCULLERY/LAUNDRY View to the kitchen and the living beyond. Joinery in timber veneer painted Dulux Showdown. Custom brass benchtop and splashback. A colourful past has evolved into a colour-filled future for this handsome home in inner Melbourne. Within its walls, the owners’ love of modern art, Mid-century furniture and the spectrum’s infinite variety has found the ideal canvas. But the rather prim two-storey terrace seemed an unlikely candidate for such expressiveness when the couple, smitten by its imposing facade and proportions, bought it in 2012. Built in 1868, it boasted filigree cast-iron verandahs, bi-colour brickwork, stained glass and floor-to-ceiling sash windows, creating a formidable street presence. And the grandeur continued inside with…

EXTERIOR Set on the bank of the Murray River in rural NSW, the old homestead was restored and a verandah added to the front facade, with a copper roof, gutters and downpipes. Exterior painted Porter’s Paints Double Grey Pepper. Windows are painted the aptly named Porter’s Paints River Stone. The garden was designed by Robert Boyle. THIS IS THE LIFE “The colour tones used by Bea – the timber, natural stone, handmade glazed tiles, and joinery colour – all provide a calming effect, which is very important for our upbeat family to settle down from our city life!” says Rob. “The spot on the river is incredibly calming, with so much bird life surrounding the house. It’s a special place to relax and spend time with family and friends.” EXTERIOR…

Circles Of Life

Owner and creator of this garden in outer Melbourne, landscape designer Scott Wynd of Mint has played his own circle games, to striking effect – his curved creations perkily contrast with the straight lines of the house, while also being a smart solution to a tricky site. And thinking in the round has produced intriguing twists and turns, with plenty of places to linger. He and his partner, Dani, who live here with their two children Milly, 15, and Jarrah, 14, bought the greenfields site from a developer back in 2018, chosen for its bush views and nearby sports clubs, ideal for active children. But the site was “tough”, says Scott, with a one-in-five gradient falling off to the west, “so it is a hot, sloping block, making plant selection…

Colour In The Garden

I used to marvel at houses with lush green gardens full of beautiful white flowers, but as I’ve visited more gardens and seen more styles, I’ve truly embraced colour. You can add colour to your garden with flowers, foliage and garden structures such as benches, paths and arbours. Colour draws your eye and creates interest and intrigue. Something as simple as a painted bench at the end of a path or a beautiful pot planted out with colourful petunias can make a garden pop – or you can fill garden beds with plants in a variety of colours, which is what I do. Either way, the colour theme you choose influences your garden’s overall look and feel. WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN ADDING COLOUR TO YOU R GARDEN ● Take into…

“My mum had an incredible eye for design that was so unique. She taught me everything I know.” I was raised surrounded by antiques as my mum, Gaynor, and my stepfather, Mark, opened our business, Shades Of Pale, when I was just 10. My mum began painting and refurbishing furniture from home when my sister, Olivia, and I were very young, so we were constantly exposed to creativity. Most weekends were spent hunting for treasures at various auction houses and markets in Sydney, and our family home in Drummoyne was used as a backdrop for her pieces before opening our first store in the early 2000s. In 2013, Mum and Mark purchased a beautiful property in Bowral on Mount Gibraltar. As she always did, Mum was able to transform it…
